The Yellow Jackets come into this game on a five game losing streak, but they nearly beat Duke in their last game and lost in overtime in the game prior to that. Clemson snapped their losing streak with a win against BC last time out and they are scoring over 80 points per game this year. The Tigers are shooting 48.5% from the field, while Georgia Tech is shooting 42.7% from the field. Clemson should have the advantage at home, but I like Georgia Tech with the points. Georgia Tech hasn’t lost by 12 points at all during this losing streak and Clemson hasn’t been very good recently. Take GT with the points.
